HISTORY OF
COMPUTERS
Charles Babbage
Creator of the Analytical Engine - the first
general-purpose digital computer (1833)

ENIAC - the Analytical Engine was not

built until 1945 (Harvard Mark I)

(courtesy : Wikipedia.org)

Worlds first programmable computer

Could carryout any calculation
CPU was 8 feet tall , 100 feet long and
weighed 30 tons

Hardware and
Software
Concept:
The physical devices that a computer is made of
are referred to as the computers hardware. The
programs that run on a computer are referred to
as software

INTRODUCTION TO
PROGRAMMING

Computer has
to be precisely
told what it
needs to do;
otherwise
CS 110 Fall 2014

Program
Programs are everywhere on the
computer and internet

Even operating systems

are programs

CS 110 Fall

Quratulain Shaf

Program
a precise sequence of steps
to solve a particular
problem
Programs are run or executed (like
OS runs on Hardware like laptop or
cell phone)
Programs can also be run by other
programs (like when we play games
in a web browser)

HOW PROGRAM
WORKS

Machine Language

CPU only understands

instructions written in
machine language

Machine Language
Instructions are
written in 1s and 0s

HOW PROGRAM
WORKS

Assembly Language

CS 110 Fall

Machine Language is difficult to

write
Assembly Language uses short
words
Assembler translates assembly
language program to machine Quratulain Shaf

HOW PROGRAM
WORKS

High Level Languages

Allow you to create powerful and

complex programs using easy to
understand words

We teach C++, Why?

C++ is one of the most popular languages

C++ (originally C)
C++ is portable (runs on Windows,
Macintosh, Unix, Mainframes )
C++ is widely used in industries (almost by
everyone)
C++
C++ is not easy to learn

A Word About Cheating

Cheating is defined by NUST
Discussing homework concepts is fine,
but you must submit your own work.

If you are caught cheating, you

will receive an immediate
FAILURE for that work.

Student Civility
In an effort to make this class
enjoyable for everybody
Please be on time to class!
Please do not talk to your friends and
neighbours in class! It disturbs
everyone, and makes it hard to
concentrate. If you have a question,
just ask me!
Please turn your cell-phones off!
